Jim, when I get back from my trip, I'll tell you about temporary
benign interference Vs permanent active interference. A standing
wave in a constant Z0 environment is temporary interference.
Wave cancellation is permanent active interference. When wave
cancellation occurs, the energy and momentum are redirected. In
a transmission line, there are only two directions. In the direction
of the wave cancellation and in the opposite direction. The energy
doesn't go in the direction of wave cancellation so which direction
does it go. Boy, that's a tough question, isn't it?




Cecil,

Have a safe trip.

I want to hear more about this "temporary benign interference". I have
been doing physics and optics for over 40 years, and that concept is a
new one for me.

Every once in a while, when I'm reading the interesting technical
prose that Cecil writes here and elsewhere, Cliff Clavin comes to mind
for some reason.
